A study of the occurrence of chronic headache in 444 patients suffering from nasal obstruction is presented. The localization, frequency, severity of the headache and differences between men and women are described. All the patients were treated with rhinoplastic surgery and examined just prior to surgery and 12 months post-operatively, applying exactly the same scheme of questioning and examination on the two occasions. The investigation shows a very strong association between the establishment of a normal nasal passage and the cure of headache. The study stresses the viewpoint that a negative sinus X-ray cannot rule out the possibility that a headache is of nasal origin, and that careful rhinologic examination is essential.
本文介绍了一项对444例鼻塞患者慢性头痛发生率的研究。描述了头痛的部位、频率、严重程度以及男女之间的差异。所有患者均接受了鼻整形手术，并在手术前和术后12个月进行检查，两次检查采用完全相同的询问和检查方案。调查显示，正常鼻道的建立与头痛的治愈之间存在非常强的关联。该研究强调了这样一种观点，即鼻窦X线检查结果为阴性并不能排除头痛源自鼻腔的可能性，细致的鼻科检查至关重要。
